Arduino, ESP8266, DH11, thingspeak

I am trying to make a thermostat for an airconditioning. I already figured out how to make the arduino connect with the temperature sensor and use relay’s to control the airconditioner. Now I’m trying to connect it to thingspeak via wifi by the ESP. I already managed to connect it but now I’m stuck. I would like to combine these two sketches in to one. Till now unsuccessfull. thanks for the help.


#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial esp8266(2, 3);

void setup() {

// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:

Serial.begin(115200);

while (!Serial) {

; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only

}

Serial.println(“Started”);

// set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port

esp8266.begin(115200);

esp8266.write(“AT\r\n”);

esp8266.write(“AT+CIPMUX=1\r\n”);

}

void loop() {

if (esp8266.available()) {

Serial.write(esp8266.read());

}

if (Serial.available()) {

esp8266.write(Serial.read());

}}


by filling in these codes in the serial monitor I’m able to connect with the arduino and esp to thingspeak

AT+CIPMUX=1

AT+CIPSTART=4,“TCP”,“184.106.153.149”,80

AT+CIPSEND=4,44

}

else

Do you understand what each line in both programs do? I don’t see how a merge of both would be of any use. Neither one does anything with a Thingspeak server. The first code is merely a relaying program, forwarding serial data between the Arduino’s hardware serial port and the ESP on a software serial port. The second program reads the DHT sensor and prints it out to the serial port. How would this ever arrive at a thingspeak server? I don’t know the answer how to do it, just that this is not going to work. Have you looked at the Thingspeak website?

I know. What I thought would be possible is to put this code somewhere in between: GET /update?key=PYE3H33PNRWA1LD0&field1=70

If you write this in the serial monitor it sends 70 to thingspeak. I have no Idea how to go further. Thanks for thinking with me tho.
